CHURN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Batent No. 240,588, dated April 26, 1881.

Application filed March 2,1881'. (No model.) I

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ISAAC HAWORTH, of

Carthage, in the county of Jasper and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Chorus; and 1 do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which Will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,

. and to theletters of reference marked thereon,

jointed operating handle or lever.

The churnbody A is made with a semicircular bottom having rockers a a.

Within the churn, and resting firmly on its semicircular bottom, is a frame of corresponding form, that is composed of the boards or slats B, which are perforated at each end for the passage of the curved rods or stringers b b. The elasticity of the rods 1) b is such that the frame may be forced into the bottom of the churn, so that the ends of the rods bind against the ends of the churn and hold the frame firmly in place when the churn is rocked. The dash-frame B b b may, however, be readily removed, when desired, for purposes of cleaning.

At the top of the churn, on each side, is a brace, 0, that is slotted in the center on the side next the churn, for the passage of the standards D D, which are connected at or near the top by the cross-bar E, at each end of which are pins or pivots e e, that enter corresponding openings (1 d in the standards. These openings d d may be made in the standards at several places, so as to allow the crosspiece E to be adjusted at the required height.

The cross-piece E is provided in the center with an opening, f, for the passage of a screw, f, by which the jointed lever or handle F is secured thereto.

The top of the churn is provided with a cover, G, having openings g g in the center, to the under side of which may be attached valves, if desired.

From the foregoing description the operation and advantages of the churn will be apparent.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isl The combination, with the rocker-churn A, having a curved or semicircular bottom, of a removable dasher-franie composed of transverse slats B, connected by longitudinal spring rods or stringers b b, substantially as specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

ISAAC HAWORTH.
